Problema Solution

Me. Shea saved $2,500 in April, his monthly salary is twice the amount he saved in April. In May, he saved a certain amount of money. He spent $4,200 more than the amount he saved. How much did he save in May?

Answer provided by our tutors

Mr.Sheas monthly salary is 2*2500 = $5,000


lets say he saved 'x' dollars in May


he spent: x + 42000


the money saved in May + the money spent in May = equals the salary in May


x + x + 4200 = 5000


x = $400


He saved $400 in May.
